Workstation Settings

There are a number of workstation settings that can be set by going to Administration → Workstation.

These settings apply to the logged in workstation. For the settings to take effect you must log out and back into the workstation.

Note

With the exception of Sounds, these settings only apply to interfaces written in angular code, such as the staff catalogue. The settings will not apply to older interfaces, such as most of circulation.

Libraries can expect to see these settings apply to more interfaces in the future as the older parts of the staff client are re-written in the newer code.

Sounds

Sound is on by default in the staff client. You can test the sounds and disable them if desired.

Test Sounds

  1. Click the buttons to test the staff client sounds.
